Case Study: Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust reduces overnight stays with VitalHub’s MCAP

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust reduces delayed discharges by 66% with VitalHub

The Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust faced a challenge in patient flow, seeking to minimize delays and reduce the amount of time children spent in the hospital. To address this, they partnered with VitalHub and utilized their MCAP data to identify specific areas for improvement.

VitalHub's solution involved implementing the SAFER model using MCAP as the main enabler, expanding day surgery services, and improving pre-operative assessment and planning. This initiative resulted in a 66% decrease in delayed discharges and a 28% reduction in the average length of stay in targeted wards over a six-month period.
